As we're now fully in fall (although with the weather during the afternoon, it doesn't feel too much different from summer here in Ontario), the garden is showing definite signs of starting to wrap up for the winter.

The Late August Garden
Monday, August 24, 2015
This weekend the weather had been absolutely gorgeous - warm and sunny, but not scorching and not even the slightest hint of humidity. I'm an autumn girl at heart, but I wouldn't mind summer if it were always like this.
Although today I'm back in the office, on Saturday I spent some time in the garden at dusk. I believe this is the time that people refer to as the golden hour, when the light is softer because the sun is lower in the sky. It definitely creates some gorgeous looking shots.
From the Garden

The weekend was a warm one and I've spent some time out in the garden. The fruit trees (apple, pear, cherry, plum) are in bloom and they are absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately the tulips are starting to die off, but I did get some decent shots the previous weekend and of what was left this weekend. I thought I'd share some of what I've shot:
First Hints of Spring
Sunday, April 13, 2014
Looking back at this blog, I realize that it has been a lot longer since my last post than I had thought. It honestly doesn't feel like that long since I made those cookies, but it clearly has been. Since my last post, winter has relinquished it's hold on us, and now it's finally spring! Even here in Canada, the snow is melting and the brown grass is in full view. The bottom step of the front staircase, as well as the bushes beside it, are finally in view again.
In a few select areas, the perennials are starting to coming back to life. This here is a daylily.
Part of what might be bringing all the bunnies to the yard, is the mass amounts of clover. While the grass is still dead, this clover is bright green.
The bulbs planted last fall are already coming up. There are both tulips and daffodils, but I like how the daffodils look yellow on the ends, so I decided to take a picture of one of those.
And here are the tulips. As you can see, there are plenty in this box, and we put them in several boxes around the garden.
